Amazing Shetland

No automatic alt text available.

Its that time again and we are on Tour in Sheffield soon. If you would like to join us for an illustrated talk on Amazing Shetland which includes wildlife, landscape, Aurora and life in Shetland  then we would be pleased to see you on Tuesday 26 June 2018, as detailed on the poster. You will need to order you tickets in advance so they can sort out the catering, over 40 attended last year

                                                                                                          Shetland lambs

                                            Its lambs all over at the moment and they seem to be enjoying life in the sun.
Its a difficult time for crofters in Shetland, having to checking the lambing every 4 hours and then in some cases having to take a lamb inside to feed. Its difficult to imagine that for all the hard work, injections, tagging and feeding that Shetland lambs only sold for £2 each last year. It costs more than the crofters get back.

Just recently I ran a practical photography course in Lerwick around the fort, the subject Abstract and texture which gave the learners plenty to think about, these are a few of mine


                                  Lots of cruise liners calling in Lerwick this year, good to see the town crowded


Just read about the ferries that they will  not be taking over by the government but will go out to retender asap. Also no sign of the reduce fares that the government promised from July 2018








                          Long sunny days in Shetland with more promised over the coming week
